Frequently asked questions
How often should our association update the reserve study?
Most communities follow industry best practice: a full reserve study every 3–5 years, with a quick annual review during budget season to adjust for completed projects, inflation, and unexpected repairs. If you’ve had major component failures, big price swings, or significant changes to the property, update sooner.
What is a reserve study and why do we need one?
A reserve study is a capital planning report that inventories your major common-area components (roofs, paving, siding, elevators, HVAC, amenities, etc.) and estimates when they’ll need repair or replacement and what it will cost over the next 20–30 years. It helps boards set defensible dues, reduce surprise special assessments, and make long-term decisions with real numbers.
How much does a reserve study cost?
Pricing depends mainly on community size, number of components, property complexity (elevators, garages, high-rise systems), and whether it’s a first study vs an update. Many communities see quotes in the low thousands to low five figures, with complex high-rises higher. Request a free quote from PropFusion to get transparent pricing based on your community's size and complexity.
Who is qualified to perform a reserve study?
Qualified providers typically include reserve study specialists and licensed professionals (engineers/architects) who do reserve studies regularly. Look for proven experience with communities like yours, a clear scope that includes an on-site inspection when appropriate, and recognized credentials (where applicable) plus sample reports and references.
Do we have to use a company in our state?
Not necessarily. What matters is that the provider can perform an on-site inspection, understands local construction/climate factors, and uses realistic regional cost assumptions. PropFusion serves all 50 states with analysts who know your area's specific conditions and requirements.
How long does the process take?
Most full reserve studies take a few weeks from kickoff to final report, depending on scheduling for the site visit and how quickly the association provides documents. Updates are often faster. If you’re trying to align with budget season or a deadline, it’s smart to request proposals early so you can lock in a provider’s calendar.
